    I didn't know it's a Cholla cactus until your comment OaklandDP!!! Thanks for naming it!!!

    That's a wagon Kaori! One thing about this area, it is very "western" here!!! And there are a lot of these old rickety pieces of history scattered about...

    Great shot but look at all of that snow! I fear it will never leave my high Sierra get-a-way!

    Thanks PA!!! Wish there had been a whole lot of Cholla at the base of your Lacy Street Shelter mural to stop those varmints from desecrating your mural!!!

    What an iconic picture to advertise the Sierras. I can't believe you've still got so much snow! The snow on Baldy has almost gone.

    Not to be prickly about it but...
    Your skies look like ours.
    Your mountains have turned gray & whiter, while ours are still brown & green.

    Well Cafe...our White Mountains (and believe it or not, that's the name of this range!) will be keeping your lawns nice and green this season!!!

    Yes...I did try B&W...the wagon and mountain were too similar in shade and intensity so it didn't work as well as the color...Thanks! I have to give tribute to Linda, my friend that I was galavanting around with...as she found the Cholla and the wagon...

    I hope you had a good zoom for this one. Those spines are treacherous! Great shot though! :)
